ng Suyan shook her head. “The mont I ca back to town, I knew imdiately that he was married and that he is leading a comfortable life. I was disappointed, so I refused to see him at first, but I felt sorry for the ti lost while he waited for . I only wanted to get a glance of him. Instead, I found the morial tablet in his residence. He was babbling on and on, asking to bless his children with a successful future.”
Gu Xijiu did not know what to answer.
ng Suyan continued, “I felt that my love had always been a mistake. When I was ready to leave, the side chamber of his residence caught fire. His youngest son was in there, crying hysterically. The blaze was too intense, so no one dared to go in and save the child. I could not bear seeing the child being burned alive, so I went in and saved him. My identity was uncovered. That was when he saw and called out my na.”
She paused and took another mouthful of wine. “I do not want to be entangled in the relationship anymore. I wanted to leave after saving the child, but he refused to let go, clinging to my sleeves and saying that he needed to talk.”
“Did you hear what he had to say?” Gu Xijiu was curious.
ng Suyan nodded hesitantly. “Yes, I heard it, but I would rather not know anything.”
Gu Xijiu frowned and waited for her to continue. “Do you know what he said? He said he had no other way but to marry the mayor’s daughter. He said that I was still the one he loved the most and he was ecstatic about my return. He needed to fulfill his promise and marry . However, he could not take as his wife. I had to beco his concubine instead. He would make it up to and make his wife soday, to be on equal footing with the mayor’s precious daughter.”
Gu Xijiu rolled her eyes in disbelief. The idea of n having multiple wives was deeply rooted in the society.
ng Suyan watched the moon and smiled. “If I had not been to the forbidden land and stayed by his side throughout the years, I would probably be fine with the idea, but this ti around, I was rather disgusted by what he had to offer. He was unhappy that I disagreed with him, claiming that he was grateful for his current wife for recognizing his worth and guiding him to success. He questioned and said that I only wanted him to beco an unrighteous man by divorcing his wife.”
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
ng Suyan laughed at herself. “He told not to be so selfish, and the offer was the best that he could give . I told him I did not need any further concession from him, neither was I going to marry him. He thought that I was rely venting my anger to make him do things that he was not supposed to do. He elaborated further by saying that he still has our marriage agreent. Now that I am still alive, we should be married. If I love him, I should not make things difficult for him.”
Gu Xijiu was bewildered. “Then?”
ng Suyan heaved a long sigh. “Then, Brother Luo ca and beat him up.”
Gu Xijiu nodded in approval. If she were there, she would do the sa and give him a thorough beating. Luo Zhanyu did nothing wrong.
“When he saw Brother Luo, he thought that I had a change of heart and decided to be with another man. He claid that I brought my new man to him on purpose only to make him angry. Disappointed, he never thought that I would turn out to be a woman of loose morals, saying that he mistook the nature of our relationship and that his love for was indeed profound and unquestionable. Never had he expected that I would betray him and turn my back on our promises.”
Gu Xijiu was stunned. She sighed. “Suyan, why would you fall in love with a scumbag like him?”
